mileagebrag
/ˈmaɪlɪdʒˌbræɡ/nounVerified NewThe strategic casual mention of training volume — weekly kilometers, longest run, hours in the saddle — as social currency.
It travels in the pause after someone mentions a 5K: "Oh, I'm doing fifty this week." The information is technically an answer to no question, which is how you know it is a mileagebrag.
Etym. — mileage + brag: distance becomes a status figure, delivered with studied offhandedness.
Rel. — domsbrag
